Cow prices in India typically range from ₹25,000 to ₹2,00,000+ depending on breed, age, milk yield, lactation stage, and location. High-yield Gir or HF cows can cost more. Check current listings on Pashushala for live prices in your state.

What should I check before buying a cow?

Check breed, age, milk yield per day, lactation number, pregnancy or calf status, vaccination history, health condition, seller verification, and transport feasibility. Inspect photos or visit the farm when possible.
